Well that's unexpected. They think he's got negative value? I mean if he does it's your damn fault you dumbasses.

Hey! You suck!
Our coaches and GM are idiots. Are you F#cking kidding me?
I'm happy for Fabbro though, he gets out of a shit organization and might actually get a chance to play.

I get what you’re saying but Stastney and Del Gaizo were a great pairing when they played together in Milwaukee and Stastney played his off side when they were together. That being said I doubt this move was made because Stastney is ready to come back. Stastney would probably get his conditioning stint in Milwaukee before being put on the Predators roster.

I would add that he has a really strong first pass out of the d zone. One of the best dmen we had at starting the transition game.

The more I think about it the more I shake my head. Whatever issues they had with Fabbro have been there since Trotz was announced as GM. So that means Trotz saw it for a year and a half before this offseason.
Why would you sign him to that contract rather than trading him at the draft for a 4th and a case of beer? Yeah sure it ain't much but it's better than nothing.

Could have traded him for a warm puck and a bucket of ice shavings at least.
You are correct, Stastney can play off-hand very well. My hyperbole and cynicism wrote that post.

I am at a loss for words regarding this move, as it has been met with widespread disapproval from our fan base. Any goodwill that NoNeck may have previously garnered during his tenure behind the bench has been completely eroded.
I find it extremely confusing given that players like Schenn and Lauzon continue to see regular ice time. I cannot recall a decision by this organization that has been as heavily criticized by the hockey community as this one.

I've been a staunch supporter of most of GMBT's moves since he started riding left seat with Poile, but I'm starting to lose confidence in whether he actually understands what he's doing right now. If Fabbro is claimed then there is 0 reason why he couldn't have been moved for even a late pick. There has to be something going on with him in the locker room for 3 coaches to draw the same conclusion, but the appearance of incompetence by management is pretty unprecedented
When do we find out who picked him up?
Two coaches, Laviolette played him. That was part of the reasoning for "being able to trade Suban", supposedly.

Lavi loved Fabbro. He was also the last coach we had who wasn't apparently terrified of putting very young players out on the ice.
That was a refreshing change when he started.
Del Gaizo has played well.
We know what stastney is should he return
Fabbro hasnt been bad though is thing that gets me. Ill probably never understand the rationale behind some choices. Hopefully he is grabbed

This organizations incompetence in drafting and developing prospects is getting out of hand. I can't name a good draft pick we've had since Girard. And more often than not, they aren't in the org. Evange has a shot, but I'm worried he is just Craig Smith with better hair and quieter legs.
The previous stupid moves were Lanky and Askarov.

Only 5 teams passed on him. 3 really. 2 didn't have any cap space.
Reading The Room 101: Grade F.
Cue up the refrain. "We tried him everywhere and thought he'd clear waivers."

Visqi will be happy at least.
What utter bullshit. If they don't win at least 3 of their road trip games it may be time for jerseys to start hitting the ice.
